Medical Loan Singapore

Medical Loan in Singapore —

Medishield Covered Part of It. The Hospital Wants the Rest Before the Procedure Begins.

Medical bills rarely arrive at a convenient time. Medishield Life covers hospitalisation costs up to a limit. What remains is yours to settle, and most hospitals require a deposit before the procedure begins. Swift Credit is a MinLaw-licensed moneylender at Bugis. Apply via Singpass MyInfo in 2 minutes. Cash disbursed the same day you visit us.

What Medishield Life Does Not Cover

Medishield Life does not cover everything. Deductibles of SGD 1,500 to SGD 4,500 apply before any payout begins. Co-insurance starts at 10% of the claimable amount after that.

Class A and private hospital bills are covered at a much smaller proportion. Dental, fertility treatments, and most outpatient specialist visits are excluded entirely.

The gap between what your insurance pays and what the hospital bills is where most families find themselves short.

What a Medical Loan Covers

Surgery Deposits at Private and Restructured Hospitals

The hospital asks for a deposit before the procedure is scheduled. Medishield covers part of the final bill, not the deposit upfront.

Cancer Treatment Co-Payments

Chemotherapy and radiation cycles come with deductibles and co-insurance on every round. The costs accumulate across months of treatment.

Elderly Parent's Specialist Consultations and Medication

Ongoing specialist visits, prescription costs, and follow-up scans that fall outside Medisave and Medishield limits.

Dental Procedures Not Covered by Medisave

Tooth extractions, root canals, crowns, bridges, and implants. Medisave does not cover most dental work.

Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation After an Accident

Recovery sessions that extend beyond what insurance reimburses, especially after a road accident or workplace injury.

Fertility Treatments

IVF and IUI cycles are not covered by Medishield Life. Each cycle at a private clinic in Singapore runs into the thousands.

Mental Health Treatment

Psychiatrist consultations and therapy sessions at private clinics, where subsidised slots have long waiting lists.

Cataract or Eye Surgery for an Elderly Parent

Cataract removal at a private hospital or specialist clinic when public hospital waiting times are too long.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you apply and visit us on the same day during office hours, you can have your cash the same day. Submit your application via Singpass MyInfo.

It is fast once your application is reviewed.

No. You do not need to submit a hospital bill or medical report. We assess your application based on your income and current MLCB balance. The funds are disbursed to you directly. How you use them is your decision.

Yes. Whether you are a parent covering your child’s hospital deposit or child managing your elderly parent’s medical costs, you apply in your own name. The loan is assessed on your income and repayment capacity, not on who receives the treatment.

A low CBS score does not automatically disqualify you. Banks use CBS. Licensed moneylenders check your MLCB record, which tracks your borrowing across moneylenders only. If your current income supports repayment and your MLCB balance is within your MinLaw limit, you may still qualify.

No. Licensed moneylender loans are recorded in the MLCB system, which is entirely separate from CBS. Banks and HDB cannot see your MLCB record. Borrowing from Swift Credit does not affect your CBS grade or your HDB flat application.

Your MinLaw limit is based on your annual income. If the bill exceeds what you can borrow, speak to our loan officers about structuring the loan around the portion we can cover. For the remainder, options include Medisave drawdowns, Medishield payouts after treatment, or a direct payment plan with the hospital. We will not send you away without a clear next step.

Yes. No penalties apply. You receive an interest rebate on the remaining months. Paying early reduces your total cost.
